Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stopmotion Animation Studio at 3.9 against FB's 3.1. Stopmotion Animation Studio also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (388 vs 28). FB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (56% vs 39%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stopmotion Animation Studio sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. FB asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stopmotion Animation Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopmotion Animation Studio has 388 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of FB's written reviews are positive against 39% of Stopmotion Animation Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FB ships an update every 3 months, Stopmotion Animation Studio every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
